THE BLACK HILLS.
Gev. Church Disposed To Select q
Few Officers From That Local.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-It should not
surprise Dakota people if Gov. Church pays
more attention to the Black Hills than it
has been the custom hitherto of Republican
governors to do. As he aid in his little
speech at Bismarck. he proposes to be the
governor of the entire territory, and
he will certainly be the governor
of the Democratic portion of it. The
Black Hills and the West Missouri country
will fare well at his hands, according to adj
vices received by leading Democrats here.
1t will not be surprising if at least two of
the best places to be dispensed by the new
governor should go the western
part Of the territory, and at
least one of them, it is
said upon good authority. has been prom
ised in that direction. Who the men are it
is not now known here. Judge Wilson, or
Deadwood. and Judge McGindley, of Man
dan, are supposed to be the favored men,
while Benney Caulfeld, with all his robust
itude and tendency to rise on all prominent
occasions, will receive merited recognition
in some way at the hands of the new adj
miniStratiOn.

definite intelligence to that effect has
been received in Sioux Falls. Mr..
Goddard is Endorsed by all of
the Democrats of this city and county, and
is also being cordially supported by many
OF the leading Democrats throughout the

abilities, is Democrat Of the Jacksonian
stripe, and if nominated will make

relations with those in authority added to
his heavy Endorsement from the leading
Democrats of the territory, lead many to
believe that he has sinch on the good fat
office of auditor, and his nomination would
certainly be gratifying to the Democrats
here.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The committee of
colored men sent to Washington by the colo
nization society Of the Second and Third con-
gresslonal districts of North Carolina have
had several conferences with Judge Clifford
in regard to sending colored people to Da-
kota. These people are very anxious to
leave their present place of abode.
They represent that they are very much OPP
pressed by the condition of things, which is
not, they say, entirely the fault Of the white
land owners, but is due very much to the
stagnant condition of agricultural and bust
ness pursuits in that portion of the South.
They speak of their white employers fayora-
bly,, and attribute to an Unborn prejudice
their refusal to sell 10 colored people
small tracts of land. Their people desire,
they say, to buy not much land, but small
pieces of good land, upon which they can do
gardening, have their little houses and live

Judge McGindley,s Prospects.


MANDAN, Oak, Jan. 21.-The attorney
generalship for the territory is engrossing a
good deal of the thought of members of the
bar of the Missouri slope. If any other
Mandan man than Judge McGindley had
been mentioned for the place. it is Ques-
ton if the practically solid Endorsement of
the Bismarck attorneys could have been OBJ
tanned. AS matter of fact Mr.. McGind-
ley has been Endorsed not only by Bismarck,
but by about all the practicing attorneys
west Of the Missouri, also by the county
Democratic executive committees. In the
community in which he is known the best
there is very general desire for the Judges
appointment, not merely because of his pop
ularity, but because his sterling abilities
qualify him thoroughly for the place.

1T WON'T PASS.
Delegate Hailey9s Eiil Giving Ter.
rItOriaI Governors Power of Sus-
pension During Council Recesses.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The bill which
Delegate Haley, of Idaho introduced for
the special purpose of giving the gov
errors of Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and
Dakota power of suspension and removal of
territorial officers during the recesseS of
territorial councils, has not the slightest
chance in the world of becoming law. 1t
might have passed at the first session of the
Forty-ninth congress, but even then it
would have had strong opposition. The
sentiment is daily glowing stronger
local self-government should by all means
be supported in the territories, and that no
more power thar is absolutely necessary for
the administration of affairs decentIy and
in business-like order should be conferred
upon territorial governors. The president
has shown his appreciation of this fact par
ticularly in the appointment of Gov. Church
by his sending him to the territory Of Da
kOta to become acquainted with local inter-
estS and identity himself with the territory
before appointing him its chief executive.
The old idea of shipping to the territories
impOrtunate and annoying politicians like
Persian satraps has passed away. The
rumor that the Dakota council will refuse
to confirm Gov. Church's appointments is
not received here as at all probable, but it
is taken as an Indication that the people of
Dakota are able to govern themselves, and
are
NOT BE DICTATED TO
in any arbitrary way by gentleman who
happens to be governor. SO long as the Or
ganic act of the territory requires that the
governor shall appoint officers to fill vacan-
ces in case of death or resignation, by and
with the consent of the council, and to ap-
point territorial auditor and treasurer and
so on for a fixed term, it is perfectly proper
that the council should have some voice in
approving his selections. The reactiOnary
doctrine which appears in the rumor. how
ever, that the council will reject the NOM
ination of any Democrat for a territorial
Office is not approved in any quarter here.
Good Republicans say that the Democrats
are entitled to the offices in Dakota on eX-
actly the same grounds upon which they
are entitled to them anywhere and ever "
where in the United States and that if the
Republicans pursue the policy which S out
lined, of rejecting Gov. Church's nomina-
tons by strict party vote OF Is to 3, as
they can, and thereby keep in office the
present incumbents. it will reflect upon the
Republicans OF Dakota and create sylnpa-
thy for the Democrats. There is strong
expectation among politicians everywhere
that Dakota will show decided Democratic
gains in the near future, and nothing better

tiou without Foundations.

Right Rev. Bishop j. j. Keane, who
has acquired for himself new laurels on
his trip to Europe in connection with
the Catholic University about to be
established, probably in Washington,
is expected home in short time.
When he left here in October last he
distinctly said TO a representative of
this paper that should the Holy Father
approve the erection of the University
he would be compelled to be absent
for six months at least, in order to visit
all the best universities of Europe and
to profit by observations that he might
make.
Tie reports which have been circu-
lated about his resignation are without
any foundation whatever.
Leo XIII. having approved the
erection of the University, and the
proper documents having been handed
to Bishop Keane, this mission of his is
now at an end until he reaches Anne
rica, when it is expected that all the
bishops will meet to make the final ar
raDgemeDts.
Very Rev. A. Van de Vyer has re-
ceiyed letter from Bishop Keane in
which he states that he would return to
Richmond probably about the end of
May. No steps have as yet been taken
about meeting him on his arrival in the
city.
